"Alright, alright, stop asking, let’s move."
Le Yao grabbed the map and stored it in her magical treasure, then dragged Ye Haochuan by the collar toward Yanjiang Town.
Ye Haochuan, being pulled along, turned around to wave goodbye to the yellow-clothed old man, loudly expressing his gratitude again.
"Phew... that girl finally left."
As soon as Ye Haochuan and his companion disappeared, two figures appeared beside the yellow-clothed elder, one in blue and one in white, both heaving a sigh of relief.
"We’ve been hiding in this Mist Forest Village for so long, and it’s the first ti I’ve t a clever little rascal like Le Yao. Now that she’s gone, I almost miss her," the white-clothed elder said with so nostalgia.
"Hehe, it’s not too late to catch up now. We’ve been in hiding for so long, you could use it as an excuse to go out for a bit."
Upon hearing the white-clothed elder’s words, the other two laughed heartily. The white-clothed elder, seeing their peculiar expressions, knew exactly what they were thinking.
"Don’t even think about it. I still want to live a few more years... that girl..."
The white-clothed elder paused, shivering as his face turned pale, as if recalling sothing terrifying.
"I wonder how that kid Ye Haochuan puts up with that girl Le Yao."
After a aningful sigh, they all cast a look of deep reverence and admiration towards Ye Haochuan.
One wonders, if Ye Haochuan knew these three elder figures admired him so, would he be elated or lose himself in excitent?
anwhile, Ye Haochuan, who was admired and respected by the three elders, was traveling with Le Yao towards Yanjiang Town, chatting along the way.
"Le Yao, do you think those three Immortal Transformation Realm cultivators we took down were rich?" Ye Haochuan asked casually, trying to sound nonchalant.
"Rich, my foot! Aside from their weapons, they only had a few thousand red crystals, not even enough for soone like !" Le Yao replied without thinking.
"I see, to think that Immortal Transformation Realm experts would be so broke."
Ye Haochuan’s eyelid twitched; a few thousand red crystals weren’t enough for her. He couldn’t help but internally complain, do you eat red crystals for breakfast or sothing?
"Yeah, those three guys were such a waste of their cultivation."
Le Yao paused, suddenly becoming cautious, eyeing Ye Haochuan like a mother hen watching a weasel.
Le Yao carefully asked, "Ye Haochuan, why are you asking this?"
"Oh, no reason, just wondering how much money we still have."
"What do you an ’our money’? Those are clearly my spoils of war, nothing to do with you!"
Upon hearing Ye Haochuan’s words, Le Yao jumped a good three feet in the air, hitting a tree branch above her without realizing it.
"Watch out!"
Ye Haochuan pulled Le Yao away just in ti, letting the branch fall to the ground with no harm done to her. He then matter-of-factly said, "We’re partners, right? So naturally, the spoils should be split evenly."
"When did you beco so shaless?"
Le Yao scoffed, looking at the branch on the ground.
"Haha, you’re too kind. I learned it from you. Co on, how much did you extort from Grandpa Huang in Mist Forest Village for them to dislike you so much?"
Ye Haochuan laughed lightly at Le Yao’s expression. If he had a folding fan in hand, he might’ve lightly flicked it, pretending to be all calm and collected.
The two bickered their way towards Yanjiang Town, occasionally pulling out the map to check their route.
The andering river, with endless waves, rolled in from the horizon, enveloping the area in a dense, water-attribute mist.
The mist nourished the plants along the bank, making each tree and shrub grow lush and green; so larger branches even extended into the water.
The plants growing from the water were even more densely packed along the shore, making it appear like a flat surface to the unknowing eye.
Various birds—white, gray, brown, so solid-colored, so mottled—soared through this space.
They occasionally let out long cries in the air, sotis diving head-first into the water. When they erged, they often held a fresh fish in their beaks or claws.
Of course, so birds that dove into the water never resurfaced, sacrificing themselves to feed the river fish.
Whoosh~
A massive fish, at least over thirty ters long and ten ters wide, leapt from the water, biting a nearly ten-ter-long bird, pulling it underwater.
A bare stone mountain stood isolated by the riverbank, its side cleaved by great force, forming a smooth surface with large characters etched onto it, marking the river’s identity.
"Sishui River? Can this even be called a ’river’?"
Ye Haochuan exclaid in bafflent at the vast expanse, several tis larger than the Yellow River, with a trace of shock in his eyes.
Not far from this stone mountain was a large town. Though called a town, Ye Haochuan felt it could be larger than a typical county city.
"What a fuss over nothing. Among the Immortal Realm rivers, this one is narrow. Co on, let’s go," Le Yao said, dragging Ye Haochuan to Yanjiang Town’s entrance. After paying the entrance fee in red crystals, she pulled him in.
This Yanjiang Town seed to be shrouded in so kind of formation, likely water-repelling. Ye Haochuan just glanced at it casually without inspecting further.
Le Yao led Ye Haochuan inside the town, stopping at an inn’s entrance, taking out a pouch and handing it silently to Ye Haochuan.
